Upcoming Podcast Guest: Keith Bellizzi on the New Science of Resilience
Keith Bellizzi, PhD, MPH, Professor of Human Development and Family Sciences at the University of Connecticut and author of the compelling new book: Falling Forward: The New Science of Resilience and Personal Transformation
Dr. Bellizzi’s research challenges the traditional belief that resilience simply means “bouncing back” after hardship.
Instead, his work suggests something far more profound.
True resilience often emerges when people lean into vulnerability, uncertainty, and life’s unexpected disruptions, allowing those experiences to reshape how they see themselves and the world.
Through decades of research in health psychology, aging, and personal transformation, Dr. Bellizzi explores how adversity can become a catalyst for growth, purpose, and renewed meaning in life.
On the Geezers, Gadgets and Gizmos podcast, we’ll discuss:
- The science behind resilience and post-adversity growth
- Why vulnerability can be a powerful source of transformation
- How people can develop resilience at any stage of life
- Lessons from Dr. Bellizzi’s new book Falling Forward
For many listeners navigating retirement, life transitions, or personal challenges, this conversation promises to offer deep insight and practical wisdom about thriving through change. Geezers Gadgets and Gizmos podcast guests help make that navigation clearer.
